Islamic galley slaves on the beach

On the left stands a Muslim galley slave next to a sailor who is in conversation with a papasso (moollah and representative of the enslaved Muslims). In front of them is a dog. On the right, a Muslim galley slave holding a halberd. In front of him are a cannon, bullets, barrels, an anchor and an oar. In the background, Muslim galley slaves around a cauldron, probably in preparation for caulking a ship. These enslaved men are identifiable as Muslims by their characteristic hairstyle (shaved head except for a tuft of hair), which they were required to wear.
